The preserved samples were then dehydrated, cleaned and infiltrated in an automatic tissue processor (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), embedded in melted paraffin wax, and sectioned (5 μm) with a microtome machine (Leica Junc 2035, Leica Microsystems Srl, Milan, Italy).
Viral RNA was extracted by using a KingFisher Flex Magnetic Particle Processor (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and subjected to rRT-PCR using influenza A-specific primers and probes [25].
(3) Excelsior ES tissue processor (Thermo scientific).
All images were captured with Olympus BX63F microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) equipped with a digital signal processor CoolSNAP scientific CCD camera (Photometrics, Tucson, AZ, USA).
Mr. Huang's company, which began as a Silicon Valley maker of graphics cards for 3-D video games and has recently begun to offer software that optimizes its processors for scientific and engineering applications, mirrors broader trends in the computer industry.
We use our GPU algorithm for PDE-constrained optimization problems and demonstrate that the commodity GPU is a useful co-processor for scientific applications.
Kingfisher 96 magnetic particle processor (Thermo-Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) was used for all MB handling.
For subsequent processing, including washing, postfixation in 1% OsO4, dehydration in ethanol, and infiltration with epoxy resin (Agar 100, Agar Scientific; Cambridge, UK), a tissue processor was used (LEICA TP, Microsystems, Vienna, Austria).
FAO is home to the Global Alliance on Climate-Smart Agriculture, a broad coalition of stakeholders, including governments; farmers and food producers, processors and sellers; scientific and educational organizations; civil society actors; multilateral and international agencies and the private sector established last September by the UN General Assembly.
GPUs originated as graphics generation dedicated co-processors, but modern GPUs have evolved to become a more general processor capable of executing scientific computations.
